LOL.

That is true.

Either one will/would continue neo-liberal, trickle down economics. Either one would/will cut taxes for the 1% and push more wealth upward away from the bottom 99%.

They both would appoint corporate friendly justices. They both will blow up other countries for the duration of their presidency. The only differences are the Hillary would appoint socially tolerant justices, and there might be some differences in which (additional) countries get blown up. Those are important differences, but you’re right. Sanders differed on those important core issues of economic equality, and sane foreign policy.

Sigh.

He woulda beat Trump.

The Patriots $%#*&$* suck.

And I hate them.

I hate them, and I hate Bellisatan, and I hate Mr. Victoria Secret Guy.

That is all that matters here, and my hatred will be the difference in the game.

Rams 59 Patriots 3.

OK, fine. But what type of science ignores historic data going back 65 million years that contradicts the theory of man made global warming? Its like a physician ignoring a patients health history when diagnosing and treating.

What kind of scientific argument has to go back 65 million years to find a cooling pattern when humans have been emitting CO2 only for the past couple of hundred years, and that’s the cause scientists are concerned about?

IDK…to me Oakland is Raider land..if only they could get a stadium deal done because really they have a much worse situation than the Chargers stadium wise.

Cards back to STL…agree
LA remains Rams…agree
Chargers stay in SD…agree

AZ and Vegas get expansion.

Oh believe me, wv knows that, sanbagger.

As a long time 49’ers fan, wv is well aware of Oakland’s love of the Raiders.

And with his beloved team 1-10 and now 45 miles away in Santa Clara and the Raiders a Super Bowl contender, he senses the Frisco area switching their allegiance to the Silver and Black (note that I said ‘Frisco’. wv, like most San Franciscans, hates that. I get my digs in where I can).

That’s why he wants the Raiders to move. He knows putting an expansion team in Oakland will take a long time to approve. It will take longer still to field a winner. In the meantime local support will undoubtedly swing back to the 9’ers. Unlike the Raiders, an expansion team won’t be a threat to the 9’ers’ sovereignty in the bay area.

So, believe me, he cares little about fair play or justice for other cities that lost their team. He cares only about one thing, the 9’ers maintaining their hold over the greater San Francisco/Oakland/San Jose/Santa Clara metroplex.

$tanK deserves it.

Okay. But we don’t.

I am seeing a completely different guy from preseason. Well, that’s not exactly right. We saw the flashes in preseason, but he just looked totally green.

This guy is good. I mean…right now…he IS better than Keenum. No question. You have to be excited by having Goff at QB going forward, for sure. He is going to be better than Bradford. That over the shoulder shot to Austin was a throw Bradford could not make the first couple of seasons. Bradford had trouble with fades and over the shoulder stuff. He was always good on a line, but not as good with touch. I didn’t watch the Saints game, and only part of the Dolphins game, but Goff seems more nimble to me, and has better accuracy, and zip. I am all aboard the Goff train now.

I’m not so sure.

I think one might be able to flap him.

Anyway this may just all get down to individual poster votes.

The Recordites and the Contextistas can probably argue until they are blue in the face, and then disagree on what shade of blue it is.

But still.

Board wars are healthy things.

Typical.

You leave out the Pragmatics who argue that it doesn’t make any difference what the Recordites and the Contextistas think. The only thing that matters is what Kroenke thinks. And the way the Dollars and Sense goes, he is keeping him.

OMG.

I am ready for a change, too.

I am so sick of losing I can’t express it.

I grew up with the Rams as one of the most respected franchises in the entire league, a team that was truly feared, year after year.

And for the past 25 years, they have mostly sucked with the unbelievable exception of the 3-year GSOT window. An entire generation of kids do not remember a time when the Rams were anything but a doormat.

That does not sit well with me, and I want a change.

But the reality is Jeff Fisher is here for at least two more seasons, and let’s just get on with it and hope for the best. (he says, knowing there will be 200 more “Fuck Fisher” threads).

I didn’t think I would make it two minutes into that, but I watched the whole thing.

I am not a fan of Cenk Uygur to begin with because he seems like more of a “ranter” than an “analyzer.” But that was good. I’ve never heard Cenk so concise before. And you are right: he was spot on about Obama. I think I agree with everything he said. I hadn’t thought of that re: Schumer before, but I think he is right there, too. I think he pretty much nailed it.

And I didn’t think I would ever be able to tolerate another Larry King interview, either, but he asked pretty good questions, and got out of the way.

I swear for exercise.

I read the headlines, and that gets my heart racing.

Sometimes I yell at kids.

I missed the game. I was on the road back from my break.

Goff can throw.

Don’t know where the defense was. Took the week off, I guess.

I don’t know what they were supposed to do.

You can’t show up drunk to work. I think that is fairly basic.

I had two techies show up to a show reeking of pot once. That was the end of them, and it hurt the show. But if I didn’t sack them, I would be saying it’s okay.

My problem with JF THIS year specifically, is this offense has been built from the ground up by JF/Snead and again the Rams have a bottom 5 offense, very possibly THE worst offense in the entire league. There have been almost NO injuries on the offensive side of the ball. Sure the offensive line is young and inexperienced, but having said that, I think we all certainly had higher hopes for the line to be at least adequate.

In actuality all we needed was an offense around 20th-22nd in scoring and we’d be right in the middle of the playoff race…instead its close to dead last in almost every category once again.

ZN, you’ve made your case on injuries to the Oline and QB over most of JF’s tenure, which has obviously affected the offense’s success and the teams overall W/L record. Well that hasn’t really played a role in this year’s offensive ineptness. If JF gets the extension that your in favor of, why do you think that the offense will improve next year? Will they hire another coordinator? Will the Oline improve to the point that the offense will make a big jump?

I think you are right about that in large measure. There is no injury excuse this year. The OL has just under-performed in run blocking. Pass protection seems okay.

I am more in the Blame Boras camp, though. He is not getting as much out of Gurley and Austin and they did last year. Now, last year, we lamented the fact that Gurley and Austin seemed to be the only weapons. This year, those guys aren’t even weapons. The only thing that is going well consistently on the offense is the slant to Britt.

This year there has been consistency in personnel. They aren’t putting a different OL arrangement out there every week, or running through players anywhere. The only thing that is different that I can see is Boras. It’s not that I have any evidence to back that up. All I got is that there seems to be no other explanation.
